Ingredients

1 lb small potatoes Yukon or red potatoes or a mix of both red and golden Yukon potatoes
3 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon garlic minced
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
2 tablespoon fresh thyme finely chopped
3 tablespoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
4 bacon strips cut into small pieces
1 cup cheddar cheese
½ cup Parmesan cheese
3 Cubes of butter optional

Instructions

Dice potatoes into 1 inch cubes.
Add diced potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, bacon, salt, pepper, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan. Mix well.
Divide into 3 portions.
Arrange potatoes on a large piece of greased foil.
Pro-Tip: Place a cube of butter over the potatoes, before folding the wrap. Butter will give it a rich taste and potatoes turn more delicious! This is an optional step.
Fold the edges to make a foil packet.
Pierce a few holes into the packets to let steam out while grilling.
Grill it on a campfire, BBQ, or in the oven.
Cover the potatoes with a lid if you use the grill. The lid helps trap the heat inside and just cooks potatoes all the way through.
Takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
Once grilled, remove packets from fire.
Open and fold the ends of the foil packs.
Load it with green onions, cheddar and Parmesan cheese, and sour cream on the side. Serve it directly in foil packets.
It serves great on the sides of grilled meat.

Notes

1. If you want crispy bacon bits, consider frying bacon in a pan first and topping it after the potatoes are grilled in foil packets. This will keep bacon crispy.
2. Place a cube of butter over the potatoes, before folding the wrap to close. Butter will give it a rich taste and potatoes turn more delicious! This is an optional step.
3. Don't forget to pierce tiny holes into the packets. It'll let steam out while grilling.
4. On fire grill - 20-30 minutes, avoid placing it on direct flames.
5. Bake in oven - at 375 degrees F for about 40 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
